✨ 2025 Shiny Bingo: 11/24
🏳️🌈 NB Pride Gorebyss: Last, but not least, is shiny Gorebyss! Last year during Pride Month I wondered if there was any Pokemon with all the NB flag colors, and Gorebyss is all 4! It's only found in the wild in White 2 (don't own it), Y, and USUM, so I'll be learning to chain fish! (At a 5% rate...)

🍯 Munchlax, the holy grail: This hunt is infamous for how convoluted it is. It seems to have gained some popularity over the last year. Munchlax is one of my favorite Pokemon, and I need one to follow me in HeartGold. Platinum, Pearl, and my JP Pearl will be used to hunt this. It might be long...

🧉 Altering Cave Shuckle: There's one thing I love about hunting in RSE and that's hopping on my Acro Bike with Illuminate & the White Flute, using my GB Micro. As mentioned before in this thread, Gen 3 stuff ends up in HG for the sake of following sprites and PokeAthlon, and I need a blue Shuckle.

🖤 Zorua SOS: A method I haven't used in over a year is SOS hunting. I'm a big fan of it, but the last time I hunted anything with it was October 2024, for a Mimikyu. Some life stuff happened right after that and I haven't SOS hunted since then, but I want to do one again. Zorua will be found.

🍄 Shroomish Safari Week: My new addition to Safari Week this year, to go alongside Teddiursa in Emerald. With a Repel trick, and some decorations, I can guarantee 100% encounter rate of the ever-wonderful Shroomish. That's it. I just love Shroomish. I'm scared to not have PokeBlocks here though...

🤡 Mr. Mime "Reclaim": Years ago, when Let's Go was still new, I hunted for shiny Mr. Mime because it's my dad's favorite Pokemon. (Don't make fun. I'll fight you.) After about 10 hours, I came away with two shiny Drowzee... I quit the hunt. This year, I'm going back, in co-op WITH my dad!

🏠 Home SwSh/BDSP Dex Completion: Last year I put shiny Meloetta on my card for completing the SV Dexes in Home. Now, there are more Dex rewards. I don't care much about Enamorus or Meltan (I have plenty of those from Go), but Manaphy and Keldeo? Hell yeah! Gotta get both of them to check this box.

🏝️ Faraway Island Mew: This is the 3rd of 3 carried over from the 2025 bingo card. Everyone knows this is a slow hunt, and requires paying attention to it most of the time. If I don't put it on my card, I'm not gonna get around to it. Just gotta keep chipping away. (And I'm not using a Dive Ball...)

🎃 Pumpkaboo XY Radar: I've never used the PokeRadar in XY, because I didn't understand it. I love it in Gen 4, so I want to give it a try now that the mechanics are thoroughly documented online. If I don't like it the same, I'll only do this one hunt with it. In that case, it's gotta be Pumpkaboo!

🤿 Relicanth Diving: I love Relicanth, and its shiny, and Clamperl's shiny. With a Repel trick, I can find Relicanth at 50% encounter rate, and Clamperl the other 50% of the time. Relicanth is the target, but it'd take 3 Clamperl (one for each stage of the line) before I dread phasing.

🦨 Stunky Early-Radar: This looks like another PokeRadar hunt, but there's a catch. I've never beaten Diamond, and I don't plan to. I only have 2 badges. But I did beat Platinum last year. So instead, I'm working towards most of a Living Dex that I'll trade into Diamond to unlock the PokeRadar early!

💤 Sleeping Mudkip: This is the only mobile game hunt on my 2026 card. I wasn't going to put any mobile games here, but I really want the shiny Mudkip profile picture in Sleep, plus the actual Mon itself, so I'm committing to it. I've been grinding up encounters in Taupe Hollow to prep for this year.
